[issue34972] json dump silently converts int keys to string

[My-Tien Nguyen]

Sure, I can do that, but wanted to propose this regardless. I guess this is a disagreement on a language design level.
As a proponent of strong typing I wouldn’t have allowed non-string keys in the first place, and if they are allowed I would warn about conversion. This is also more aligned with the “explicit is better than implicit” principle.
